I'm in the process of restoring my father-in-law's Model 71 cathedral with the help of some friends. While discussing how to mount a new speaker in the cabinet, one of them pointed out that he didn't think that the grill cloth that was in the radio was original. I'd thought it was, but now I'm not sure. So, figured I'd ask the experts! What do you think?

If it's not original, what should it look like? Not entirely sure I'm gonna bother replacing it if it's not as what I have looks salvagable.
